Villa, top scorer for the Spanish national team, should forget the dream of performing in Poland-Ukraine. The Barcelona striker has not fully recovered after suffering a broken leg at the end of last year.
"This is a new situation for us. The truth is I do not know what the national team without injured Villa," I Silva told Marca.
"Hopefully the same thing, but 'El Guaje' is a very important player for us. He was a pure goal scorer. We will miss him on and off the field," he said.
Silva added that Spain will travel to the European Cup with a mission to retain the title. Manchester City player recognizes that the mission would not be easy to be realized.
"We always dreamed about it, of course. However, we also realize that other teams are equally strong," he said.
